腐败成本是指人们在权力与私利非法交换时所作的投入,或者说所付出的代价。腐败作为公权执掌者的非法谋利行为,其出发点和归宿就是追逐和实现个人或者团体的利益。追逐私利,实现个人利益的最大化是人类进入私有制社会,公私利益出现分化后的一种普遍现象,只要公私利益的对立和差别存在,人们追求私利的行为就无法避免。因此,追逐个人或者团体的利益,是腐败行为发生的原动力,古今中外所发生的一切腐败行为,无一不是利益驱动的结果。认真研究腐败成本的构成和提高腐败成本的 The cost of corruption refers to people’s investment in the illegal exchange of power and private interests, or the price paid.

The pursuit of self-interest and the realization of the maximization of individual interests are the universal phenomenon after the human beings enter the private-owned society and the public-private interests are differentiated. As long as the opposition and difference between public and private interests exist, the pursuit of private interests can not be avoided.
